The Canon Xap Shot is a "still video camera".  It's an analog medium
with a video output which you can feed to a TV or VCR.  Images are
stored (in analog form) on a 2" floppy disk, so that may be the reason
there's some confusion with it being digital.

The Canon Xap Shot and a similar unit, the Sony Mavica, run about
$700-800 at most camera shops.
